  1. RAID 5 (striped disks with single parity) RAID 5 requires the use of at least three drives. It combines these disks to protect data against loss of any one disk; the array's storage capacity is reduced by one disk. It strips data across multiple drives to increase performance.

    There are 7 levels of RAID schemes. These schemas are as RAID 0, RAID 1, ...., RAID 6. These levels contain the following characteristics: 1. It contains a set of physical disk drives. 2. In this technology, the operating system views these separate disks as a single logical disk. 3. In this technology, data is distributed across the physical drive...

    RAID 0

    1. RAID level 0 provides data stripping, i.e., a data can place across multiple disks. It is based on stripping that means if one disk fails then all data in the array is lost. 2. This level doesn't provide fault tolerance but increases the system performance.

    In this figure, block 0, 1, 2, 3 form a stripe. In this level, instead of placing just one block into a disk at a time, we can work with two or more blocks placed it into a disk before moving on to the next one. In this above figure, there is no duplication of data. Hence, a block once lost cannot be recovered.

    This level is called mirroring of data as it copies the data from drive 1 to drive 2. It provides 100% redundancy in case of a failure.

    RAID 2 consists of bit-level striping using hamming code parity. In this level, each data bit in a word is recorded on a separate disk and ECC code of data words is stored on different set disks.
    Due to its high cost and complex structure, this level is not commercially used. This same performance can be achieved by RAID 3 at a lower cost.
    RAID 3 consists of byte-level striping with dedicated parity. In this level, the parity information is stored for each disk section and written to a dedicated parity drive.
    In case of drive failure, the parity drive is accessed, and data is reconstructed from the remaining devices. Once the failed drive is replaced, the missing data can be restored on the new drive.
    In this level, data can be transferred in bulk. Thus high-speed data transmission is possible.
    RAID 4 consists of block-level stripping with a parity disk. Instead of duplicating data, the RAID 4 adopts a parity-based approach.
    This level allows recovery of at most 1 disk failure due to the way parity works. In this level, if more than one disk fails, then there is no way to recover the data.
    Level 3 and level 4 both are required at least three disks to implement RAID.
    RAID 5 is a slight modification of the RAID 4 system. The only difference is that in RAID 5, the parity rotates among the drives.
    It consists of block-level striping with DISTRIBUTED parity.
    Same as RAID 4, this level allows recovery of at most 1 disk failure. If more than one disk fails, then there is no way for data recovery.
    This level is an extension of RAID 5. It contains block-level stripping with 2 parity bits.
    In RAID 6, you can survive 2 concurrent disk failures. Suppose you are using RAID 5, and RAID 1. When your disks fail, you need to replace the failed disk because if simultaneously another disk fai...
  2. Jun 10, 2024 · RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) in a Database Management System (DBMS) is a technology that combines multiple physical disk drives into a single logical unit for data storage. The main purpose of RAID is to improve data reliability, availability, and performance.

  3. Selection of RAID Levels. In the previous section, we came to know about RAID and understood the various levels of RAID. Here, we will discuss the selection of those discussed RAID levels, i.e., in what way these levels should be chosen. Each level has its own pros as well as cons.

  4. Feb 14, 2022 · In this article, we will see about Software RAID in DBMS and examples where it can be used. Before moving on to Software RAID we will see what does RAID means. RAID: RAID stands for “Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks”.

  5. Dec 3, 2019 · Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a set of several physical disk drives that Operating System see as a single logical unit. It played a significant role in narrowing the gap between increasingly fast processors and slow disk drives.
